Sicilian tapas, delicious finger food for our guests

My beautiful foodies,today I am gonna show you some creative ideas of food we can offer to friends when they come to visit us. Starters, finger food, in this occasion I actually came up with the specific name "Sicilian tapas" just because for those who love football and are watching the Euro2016 in France tomorrow we (Italian National Team) are going to play against our Spanish cousins.

So what better occasion to mingle and offering some tapas that are made of Sicilian products? When you are gathering with friends to watch a game, which I am sure you do tomorrow as tradition wants, people do not really want to sit down for a proper meal, so the best thing to do is preparing different dishes of finger food that you actually get to taste in front of the telly in a very informal way.

Also we can offer the mini pane e panelle (second pic above), our small pizzete, or what we called "focaccine" (here on the left).

Focaccine are basically small pieces of pizza bread stuffed with
whatever you like, in the picture there is some parma ham, but it can be more traditional with anchovies
and fresh ricotta, or with a modern twist with rocket salads, breasola, parmisan flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice on top.

So here you are, few delicious ideas that you can offer to your Italian and Spanish friends when they come over to your place to see a football match or any other thing really, a movie, the olimpic games, ecc.
